Summary: These books represent a comprehensive theological commentary on the New Testament, particularly focusing on the letters of Paul. It aims to provide profound interpretations of Christian doctrines, such as holiness and faith, highlighting that all true believers, referred to as "saints," are called to God's service. Maclaren emphasizes that sainthood is inclusive of all Christians committed to faith in Jesus Christ, which forms the foundation for holiness.
